I always consider this blog’s birthday January 1st of every year. I had written on the Refuge Blog a few years before here, but The Carnival in My Head officially started on January 1st 2008.

Read Moreexactly 5 years ago today i was putting the finishing touches on the carnival in my head, my first adventure into solo blogging. it’s been quite a wild ride & it honestly feels like a year or two ago but not 5! whether you comment regularly or you’re one of the lurkers, i am grateful […]
